Pinned it, Made it! Monday ~ Week 24 ~

Whoever thought of Pinterest was brilliant! I just love having all those ideas all together at my fingertips in one attractive and fun place. It’s the perfect place for planning and dreaming. And our family has tried many new recipes, thanks to Pinterest.

As a matter of fact, this week, for Pinned it, Made it! Monday, it’s yet another recipe that I have to share that I tried from Pinterest. I’m listing the recipe exactly as it was pinned from the original source, but I modified it a little bit with what I had on hand, which will be listed below the recipe.

Tater Tot Casserole

1 lb. ground pork breakfast sausage (or cubed ham or bacon) pre-cooked
2-4 cubes shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups milk
4 eggs
2 lbs. frozen tater tots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the (pre-cooked) sausage, bacon, or ham evenly in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Spread cheese over meat. Add 4 cups of cheese, but you can use less if you prefer to reduce the calories. In large bowl, beat together milk and eggs. Pour over cheese. (May be refrigerated overnight at this point). Top with frozen tater tots. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Some ovens may take more or less time. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.


I almost forgot to get a picture of mine. We had already dug into it before I thought of it.  :)

 

 

**Note from Tammy** I had a package of real bacon bits on hand so I used those instead of the meats listed above. Instead of putting them on the bottom of the dish and adding the cheese on top of that and then the milk/egg mixture and tater tots on top, in a bowl, I mixed well the milk, eggs, cheese (I used about 3 cups but 2 probably would have been plenty), and the bacon bits. I put the bag of frozen tater tots in the 9 x 13 dish and then poured this mixture over it. It turned out great this way. I took this over to my mama and daddy’s house for dinner to add to her dishes and everyone loved it. This is another one that I will make again.
